UniProt is the world’s leading high-quality, comprehensive and freely accessible resource of protein sequence and functional information. Cite UniProt. Proteins. UniProt Knowledgebase. Reviewed. (Swiss-Prot) 572,214. Unreviewed. (TrEMBL) 248,266,673. Species. Proteomes. Protein sets for species with sequenced genomes from across the tree of life.
The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation.
UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects. It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is the expertly curated component of UniProtKB (produced by the UniProt consortium). It contains hundreds of thousands of protein descriptions, including function, domain structure, subcellular location, post-translational modifications and functionally characterized variants. 💡 UniProt is one of the most widely used ...
UniProt is comprised of four components, each optimised for different uses: 1) The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central access point for extensive curated protein information, including function, classification, and cross-reference. UniProtKB comprises two sections:
The UniProt Archive (UniParc) contains all protein sequences from the main publicly available protein sequence databases. This makes UniParc the most comprehensive publicly accessible non-redundant protein sequence database. A complete list of the source databases is available on the UniProt website.
The UniProt Knowledgebase (UniProtKB) is the central hub for the collection of functional information on proteins, with accurate, consistent and rich annotation.
